purge.xxx #3 - Vampir-Cuadecuc by Carles Santos ▾
This series for Resonance Extra is the first time much of the label's catalogue has been available to hear outside of its material form. It accepts the invitation by Resonance on the basis that none of these sounds are stored. If you want to hear it you need to be able to access the radio at midnight BST every Thursday.
Running weekly, the series will broadcast the entire catalogue so far in chronological order, continuing here with Carles Santos's Vampir-Cuadecuc.
purge.xxx releases music. It has been celebrated by The Wire magazine for its ‘disregard for the music industry, self-promotion and prevailing cultural norms,’ and an ‘ability to elevate distinct works and the obscure artists behind them.’ purge.xxx only releases music physically, unless a digital alternative has specifically been requested by a collaborating artist. It considers even the recording a compromise, but advocates things.

Kinn Presents #9 - Sad & Songless Sounds (Sonic Diary 2016-2021) ▾
I try to upkeep a daily studio practice, even if it’s spending half an hour playing guitar after slogging it through work all day. Most of this becomes documented in folders of audio to be used for later projects.
However, with such a clear and singular vision for what I want to achieve with Kinn and my other aliases, the majority of these sonic experiments never find an appropriate home.
This show is a means to share these raw & textured sounds in short 10-30 second bursts of my personal recordings (2016-2021), from modular synth noodling, jams with friends, outtakes & studio recordings from the next album and more.
The resulting experience is familiar to any sound enthusiast, from the favoured form of procrastinating via blearily scrolling through social media; listening through snippets of new releases on Boomkat; to preparing to begin a new project by rifling through the killer euclidean rhythms you got really excited about after a bottle of bargain barrel wine but now you’re wondering if the world needs another AFX knockoff.
For those into sound and who hate music.
Channelling an array of fervent interests in many genres through different mediums (Film, Music, Sound Art and more), Kinn - the brooding-electronics project of London based artist Freddy Lomas - and his guests use original soundscapes and compositions to weave together an original concept for each month's show.
